Soppong, Thailand Camera
October 11, 2008
Mae Hong Son (The City of Three Mists) is nestled in a deep valley hemmed in by high mountain ranges. Mae Hong Son has long been isolated from the outside world and is the most mountainous province in Thailand. Most of the areas are complex mountain ranges and likely still pristine virgin forest.
The name refers to the fact that this terrain is highly suitable for the training of elephants. Former governors of Chiang Mai used to organize the rounding up of wild elephants which were then trained to work in the capital.
Several prehistoric sites are known within Pang Mapha area. The most famous one is the Spirit Cave occupied from about 9000 till 5500 BC by Hoabinhian hunters and gatherers.
Keep in mind, this is a very remote area. The webcam is not always on, but it is well worth the wait.
Toba Aquarium Japan

This is a bit of a departure from the sunrise theme, but this aquarium is an attraction of exceptional interest. The Toba Aquarium is one of the largest in the world and has over 850 types of saltwater and river fish, including frogs, aquatic insects, sea turtles, and coral.
For those folks who spend a good part of each day focused at a computer screen, this aquarium is a great way to relax the eye muscles. Brilliantly colored fish large and small mingle with sea turtles and other aquatic creatures.

This is the best time of year to watch the Gentoo penguins raising their young. Penguins arrive in late September to breed, and they depart the following April. There are multiple cameras to view with varying refresh rates.
The cameras capture live images of the Penguins, and zoomed cameras provide the chance to watch these fascinating creatures close at hand.

There are also stunning sunrises and sunsets from an area so remote few will ever see them firsthand.
Here is a link to the German weather station GARS with additional information and cams.
